The straight and cross grooves are disposed along the interior of the joint in alternating fashion. A cross groove passageway is positioned between two straight groove passageways. The inner joint member includes helical grooves extending in a right-hand direction and in a left-hand direction. The helical grooves can be disposed in alternating fashion such that a left-handed groove is disposed between two right-handed grooves. <IMAGE>
